This note is intended to draw attention to the work of Robert
Pavlita and his experiments in bio-energy. Feedback is very much
wanted. Contact details appear at the end.
A pleasing result of the enormous changes occurring in eastern
Europe is the exposure of developments and ideas hitherto hidden
from the attention of the west.
The work of Robert Pavlita, a Czech scientist working for fifty
years in almost total obscurity, is a good example.
Pavlita built an extraordinary array of what he called Psychotronic
Generators, bizarre but exquisite metal-work creations - each about
the size of a paperback book - which serve as "batteries" for
certain kinds of psychic energy.
In his experiments, Pavlita demonstrated that the Generators can
be used to achieve an array of results:
1) causing magnetic-like behavior in such substances as paper,
ceramics and lead;
2) purifying aniline solutions; making a flywheel spin at will;
3) transferring energy in a variety of ways with the only input
being the energy of the mind.
The list is long: the key thing is that each of these events occurs
through a combination of thought (brain activity) and Generators. No
special inherent skills are needed by the operator - Pavlita's
research points to these exercises in Bio-Energy being doable by
anyone.
It amounts, in his view, to a fundamentally different form of
energy, one which requires a paradigm shift. It has to be emphasized
that Pavlita's work has always been based on science and scientific
methodology.
Unfortunately, Czechoslovakia's turbulent history has worked against
Pavlita. The greatest attention it received was from the Czech and
Soviet secret police, who kept him and his research bottled up and
isolated for most of the last fifty years.
As far as we can tell, there are only a small handful of mentions of
his work in any literature. Dr Stanley Krippner, who travelled to
Czechoslovakia to meet Pavlita in the early 1960's, devotes a few
chapters to Pavlita in his book FUTURE SCIENCE: LIFE ENERGIES AND
THE PHYSICS OF PARANORMAL PHENOMENA (John White and Stanley
Krippner - Doubleday/Anchor) and concludes:
"...After spending three hours with Pavlita... I was impressed
by his devotion to his work. I am aware that alternative
explanations to his demonstrations exist (hidden magnets,
electrostatic effects etc.) It is also possible that Pavlita
and his daughter unwittingly have used their own psychokinetic
abilities to create the effects rather than tapping sources of
"biological energy" common to everyone. Only future research
will indicate whether the psychotronic generators are the
scientific breakthrough that his supporters suspect."
At about the same time, a reference appears in another book to
interest evidently having been taken in Pavlita's research by the
United States Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA).
Then in 1987, the Central Research Institute for Physics of the
Hungarian Academy of Sciences conducted a long and rigorous
examination of Pavlita's Psychotronic Generators and his ideas about
bio-energy. Their findings are abstracted in a 28-page report (in
English) which says:
"Magnetic anomalies have been investigated and it is shown that
the magnetization curves of [unreadable] and ferromagnetic
materials may change temporarily due to biological activation.
The apparatus, the method of the activation and the measurement
procedure are briefly described and a number of test results
are included for various materials."
In 1989, following the Velvet Revolution which brought Vaclav Havel
to power, a former Czech emigre now living in Australia returned to
Czechoslovakia and established a close personal connection with
Pavlita. The Australian is passionately interested in exposing
Pavlita's ideas to worldwide attention and having them exploited in
the various fields of relevance: medicine, computer science,
environmental control and others.
He formed an international foundation dedicated to spreading the
word about Pavlita. Last spring, he brought a group of Australian
film-makers to Czechoslovakia to make a one-hour video about the
eighty-year old and his life and times. The video was completed in
December 1991 and a private showing has been organized to take place
in New York City in the next few days.
Pavlita's diaries and papers, which are copious and exquisitely
documented, are being stored on optical disks at present, and work
has commenced in translating some of it from Czech. The entire
collection of Psychotronic Generators is currently being catalogued
and documented, and a small group of amateur researchers have been
training themselves in Pavlita's techniques, especially in how to
"charge" a Psychotronic Generator.
At this stage, the foundation is interested in doing a number of
things. First - to let people know about Pavlita's findings and
research, and to start some public discussion about its implications
for science, industry and health. Then - to create the proper
framework for additional research and development.
We are interested in trying to identify strategic relationships
which will enable the Pavlita group to move forward. If you have
